SAM Labs shoots for global STEAM education with help from NetSuite

Kickstarter success story to help teachers around the world tackle STEAM skills gap with innovative play-based learning kits

SAM Labs, an award winning EdTech company, has chosen Oracle NetSuite to support its rapid growth as it helps address the increasing global demand for science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) skills. With NetSuite, SAM Labs is able to focus on its goals of getting young students excited about technology while easing the mounting pressure on time-strapped teachers by streamlining and scaling its critical business processes.

In the UK alone, a shortfall in STEAM-educated graduates is making it difficult for employers to fill in-demand positions, which is costing the country an estimated £63 billion per year in lost GDP1. Moreover, exhausted teachers are struggling to adapt their lesson plans quickly enough, with 93 percent saying their workload is too heavy2. To help address this challenge, SAM Labs conducted a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2014 to fund new IoT-connected learning kits that allow teachers to present STEAM lessons in a highly interactive and engaging environment. To keep up with the demand for its innovative play-based learning kits and scale its business internationally, SAM Labs selected NetSuite.

“The STEAM skills gap isn’t a localised issue, it’s a global problem,” said Joachim Horn, Founder of SAM Labs. “Teachers need more time and resources to adapt their STEAM lesson plans and with our play-based learning kits, we empower teachers to help students aged between seven and eleven years to learn the fundamentals of coding and computer-based problem solving in a fun and engaging way. This approach has proved very successful and to keep up with the growing demand, we selected NetSuite.”

SAM Labs is now being used in classrooms in more than 20 countries including the United KingdomUnited StatesChinaAustralia and Brazil.

“It’s a privilege to work with a company that’s making such huge strides in the education sector, not just in the UK but around the world,” said Nicky Tozer, VP, EMEA at Oracle NetSuite. “SAM Labs has come a long way since raising its first $160,000 on Kickstarter, and with our platform, the SAM Labs team have set themselves up to make an even bigger dent in the global STEAM skills gap.”

Transcosmos Powers Global Omnichannel Customer Service with Bright Pattern Cloud Contact Center

Bright Pattern, a leading provider of omnichannel cloud contact center software, helps Transcosmos provide exceptional localized customer care for international clients.

Transcosmos enables global retailers to localize their customer service and deliver support that is tailored and relevant to each market. Operating in the United StatesAsiaCentral America and South America, Transcosmos employs thousands of agents who speak multiple languages and are trained in the cultural nuances of dozens of countries and territories.

Transcosmos provides customer care through voice, chat, email, and a self-service IVR. The company needed to roll out an omnichannel agent interface for use in every call center regardless of location. In addition, Transcosmos needed to be able to open new call centers quickly and scale to add new agents in the shortest time to handle the seasonal demands of the retail environment.

Effortless and Personal Customer Service with Bright Pattern Omnichannel Cloud Contact Center

Bright Pattern delivered an omnichannel interface that puts everything the agent needs on one screen. “Using Bright Pattern has made it shockingly easy from a training and technology standpoint,” said Tom Coshow, Managing Director of Transcosmos.

Transcosmos implemented the solution quickly across its entire network so that its thousands of agents across the world could use an identical system. The cloud-based software offers clients the maximum flexibility to scale and open call centers wherever an Internet connection can be found. It also requires far less on-premises technology that would need to be upgraded constantly.

Results from switching to Bright Pattern:

  • Reduced average agent training time from three days to just three hours
  • Increased agent licenses on the Bright Pattern platform by 500% since onboarding
  • Growth of international call centers in Mexico and Brazil to handle clients all over Central America and South America
  • Enabled agents to handle requests in chat and email as well as voice
  • Cut email handling time down to under 12 hours for most clients

This single, simple solution has a lot of benefits for Transcosmos. Despite operating in multiple locations and markets, everything is uniform. Training is simplified and maintenance can be performed centrally—updates and patches work everywhere instantly. Managing one solution across multiple territories also offers significant cost savings for Transcosmos.

“When you take an international account and localize the customer service, there are so many cultural issues to train into the agents. Having a unified interface is a huge help,” continued Coshow.

TITUS and Virtru Partner to Simplify Data Protection

New solution combines industry leading data discovery, classification, and protection to ensure regulated and corporate confidential information remains protected wherever it’s shared

TITUS, a leading provider of data classification and protection solutions, and Virtru, a trusted provider of encryption and data privacy solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver integrated data security and compliance offerings for enterprises of all sizes. The new partnership combines market leading data discovery, classification, encryption, and access control for both cloud and on-premise systems.

Businesses of all sizes have historically struggled to easily classify and protect the regulated and corporate confidential data that they create, store, and share. Legacy approaches are too cumbersome for end users, too hard to manage for administrators, or lack critical capabilities required for secure cross-platform data sharing. Integrating flexible data classification capabilities from TITUS with encryption and access control technologies from Virtru offers a streamlined experience for end-users and administrators.

The first TITUS/Virtru integrations protect email and attachments, delivering data classification and encryption for Google G Suite, Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Outlook/Exchange. The new offerings are particularly relevant for organizations moving to the cloud, where easily identifying and securing email and files remain among the top barriers to adoption.

“It is becoming increasingly apparent that third-party products designed to centrally and efficiently manage policy, privileges and activity will grow in use within midsize to large enterprises, and within highly regulated organizations of all sizes,” notes Gartner Inc. in Cloud Security Primer, Jay HeiserJanuary 17, 2018.

Based on the open-standard Trusted Data Format (TDF), TITUS and Virtru help simplify the process of identifying, classifying, and protecting sensitive information. Administrators can set up specific data protection policies centrally to ensure that data classified in a particular way will be protected consistently. For instance, an organization can set a policy that emails containing personal data from an European Union resident would always be encrypted before it reaches the cloud provider to help meet General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance requirements.

Read More:  Fake Artificial Intelligence (AI) Vs. Real AI: How To Tell The Difference Between The Scammers & The Real Deal

The partnership between TITUS and Virtru:

  • Supports compliance in the cloud: Meet compliance regulations and standards such as the EU’s GDPR, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Export Administration Regulation (EAR), and many others, by accurately classifying and automatically applying encryption and access controls to emails and files.
  • Protects the most sensitive data: Ensure intellectual property and other corporate confidential information is only accessible to authorized parties by enforcing policy standards that apply to how information is shared.
  • Provides a seamless multi-platform integration into security ecosystems: Security and risk professionals can more easily connect and extend TITUS and Virtru to other security solutions of their choice, such as Data Loss Prevention and Cloud Access Security Brokers, controlling how data protection is built in the flow of work for employees to meet specific business needs.

“Organizations need to have the ability to protect data on their terms with the flexibility to set policies and actions that keep information flowing freely and securely,” said Jim Barkdoll, CEO of TITUS. “Virtru shares the same philosophy that data protection must be a seamless experience for end users that gives them the confidence to make the right decisions to keep valuable data secure.”

“As companies move to cloud platforms like Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite, they want to ensure they retain full control over who can access their most sensitive content,” said John Ackerly, CEO of Virtru. “Our integrated offerings with TITUS help enterprises make move to the cloud with the confidence that they remain in control of their data.”

PowerSuite for Microsoft Teams

This week, PowerSuite launched the first of many upcoming expansions to its repertoire of Microsoft Teams services with three important solutions. These expanded services have already been rolled out by several forward-looking companies that require a single pane of glass for simultaneously viewing both Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business performance.
